Got halfway through the post before I realized that is my Speedmaster. Happy to see that issue got resolved.
I'm kind of surprised the watch has been serviced at all. My guess is it was done by the original owner sometime back in the 90s. When the original owner passed away, the watch went to his son and then was sold to one of the son's coworkers. It sat in a drawer for a number of years before I bought it. Even after that, I didn't wear it much since I knew it was (over) due for service.
I wonder how much worse things would have been if I had actually worn it regularly (although the damage is already done, I guess).
